Hey Scott,
Where do you draw the line when it comes to overeaching and ending a FT blast?
Would you rather overdo it a little and then back off or just be right on the edge and go into a cruise?
This is all keeping the 5-6 week blast length in place (which I personally think is the most anyone can push themselves with this program if they're ducks are in a row). Another thing I've learned from autoregulating over a few blasts is that if I'm flatter and more beat up, I can still set a PR doing a lower weight but get much higher reps during a loading set, while at the same time not taxing my nervous system as much (ex. doing 18 reps with 5 plates on the T bar instead of 8 with 6). . This technique has brought me back into the circle several times where I couldve pushed more weight, but I KNEW I'd pay the price the next day and in my next workouts. Seems like JP is also always teetering on the edge of overdoing it; although I think the weights and the lower rep ranges Jordan handles probably plays a big role in this.
Just some of my thoughts on this; hopefully I'll learn more over the next few blasts to at least come to some form of conclusion for myself.
P.S- Pressing slower for chest consciously now has given be some very insane progress on the numbers.
